Politically correct: This goes a little over board I think. This got me thinking after I went and voted. On the backside of the ballot there was a vote yes or no to change wording in the constitution about taking the word idiot out. I mean yeah idiot is slang now but it used to be a defined word that described someone. Well this just got me thinking about other ways to be politically correct.
For example, African American is politically correct when talking about a black person. But seriously does this make since. I mean I am not a Irish/englis/german American, I think saying African American is like saying where I am originally from. Maybe if a black american was from Africa and lived there part of their life it would be ok but seems more degrading, but what do I know I am not black so do not know how I would feel about it.
alright sorry this is short, no means to take offense to anything I said. Just thinking through something.
